Managing RSVP’s

Managing RSVPs

As a member of the team, I couldn’t be more thrilled that we’re live. As a marketer/event planner, I couldn’t be more thrilled that there is finally a solution to the age old dilemma of managing RSVPS.

I started working on events immediately after I graduated college. From ‘92-’97 those events included campaign events, Rose Garden Ceremonies and State Dinners. When I moved to New York City, the events became high profile fashion shows, product launches and charity events. Once I started working in sports marketing, my events became Rose Bowl and March Madness parties.

Despite the different industries, one thing remained painfully the same, when it came to events — formal or casual, big or small, there was no simple way to organize RSVPs.

In the early part of my career, RSVPs came in by phone and fax. Over the past 10 years, event RSVPs have traditionally been scattered between voice mail and email, clearly not an easy and fool proof way for keeping track of guests.

Nearly 15 years later, I finally have a solution for managing RSVPs in on simple place. Once invitations are sent out, I can immediately head to my Event Reporting section where I can see all my guests names, can see if they have responded yes/no/maybe or not at all. I can also read the personal notes that they’ve sent me. It’s that simple. For those who insist on calling me, texting me or emailing me directly, I can manually change their RSVP status directly in my guest list, hence I can keep one master list. Once done I can either print a guest list from pingg or I can export it to excel and can make my own check in list.

I hope that you enjoy the benefits of pingg as much as I do.
